Product details
"I'm sorry, your mother was killed." With these words, Fila's odyssey between the living and the dead begins: From Switzerland, where she grew up, to Italy, which her grandmother left as a young woman
and where her mother disappeared to. Fila traces the paths of the two women, accompanied by the figures she encounters along the way: revolutionary Amazons, fascist deserters and the ghost of a young peasant woman with her throat cut. The road trip on the trail of their mysterious mother leads them to the suspected murderer - and right into the heart of the circle that controls the country. Fila is trapped. But she is not alone.This Italian journey rushes through cities and forests, through loneliness and revelry into the abysses of our time: Favorita is a literary revenge thriller with an idiosyncratic sense of humour that playfully gets to the heart of questions of identity, belonging, sexual desire and patriarchal violence."What a powerful narrative flow, what a new, dreamlike tone! A young woman digs deep along her female lineage, she searches for the story of her mother and grandmother and finds their forgotten sister, beauty, among all the dead and ghosts and among all the guilt and shame!" Florian Illies "A ghostly dance through Italy, painted as wildly and beautifully as only Michelle Steinbeck can." Mercedes Lauenstein.
